I'm a veggie , and have been since I was 6. None of my family are I just started refusing to eat it. My boyfriend doesn't understand vegetarianism, so my son will be eating meat and also I have severe anemia and I would hate for him to get that from me pushing my eating habits on him. I think when he's older he can make his own decision. I decided at 6 an there was no changing my mind so if he does the same I will accept it no problem unlike my parents. But I definitely will be feeding meat for health reasons and ultimately let him decide what he wants.

I'm planning on doing some more reading to make sure I am providing the proper nutrition- but I'm not planning on feeding my dd meat. It's definitely possible to get what she needs without meat and we will teach her our reasons for not eating it. When she's old enough, she can decide to eat it (out of the house lol).

I say this now....but she's not eating yet.

My fiancée and I are both vegan and I think that with all the Growth hormones and the horrible living conditions that they live in at the slaughter houses, ( I.e never getting fresh air, eating grain when suppose to eat grass, living in there own poo) makes meat very gross and unhealthy., I'm going to raise my son to be vegan or vegetarian until he's of age to decide for himself.

I am a vegetarian and have been for the past 5 years. My daughter will be a vegetarian or pescatarian (eats seafood). I am going to do more research when the time comes to ensure she gets everything she needs. I'm already getting a lot of pushback from family and friends on this topic but I ignore them- I would never do anything to harm her health and a great majority of the world are vegetarians. When she is older she can decide how she wants to eat.

My pediatrician said that babies/toddlers are often selective vegetarians until around 2 or 3 yrs old. She said not to worry about it and just make sure they get protein and iron from other sources (dark leafy greens, beans, cheese, yogurt, etc). This is more of a concern once they get past a year though so you have some more time to figure it out.

I am vegetarian. Have been since 2007, fiancé is not. We plan on raising our son vegetarian as well until he is old enough to make an educated decision on how he wants to eat. Meat turns on cancer cells so we figured why would we want to risk that with our child's health. I didn't need to eat anything different while pregnant or breast feeding so as long as we are providing him with full balanced meals he should have no problems getting the nutrition he needs to thrive. We don't want him to grow up on chicken nuggets, hot dogs, Mac and cheese, and pizza like every other kid in the u.s.

I'm not on here to argue with people. In my studies over the years I have found that it is the consensus that meat eaters have a higher chance of getting cancer than vegetarians or vegans. Everyone is born with inactive cancer. Meat contains carcinogens that turn certain cancer cells on. Soda also has this chemical in it. Obviously skin and lung cancer isn't directly linked to this but to sun exposure and smoke/dust/poison exposure. Things like heart disease which is the number one cause of death in the U.S., and liver disease and colon cancer are. You can believe what you want and I'm fine with that. Watch the Gerson miracle if you please. That's one source among many you can collect info from. It's just something I believe and part of why my son won't be eating meat.
